What a year this has been. I'm just about fully recovered from major surgery -- after having already recovered from major eye surgery -- and I've started a new book. It's absolutely nothing like anything I've written before. In fact, that's one of my problems. People always ask: 'What is your genre?' It seems that authors who stick to a theme -- a genre -- can acquire a set of followers who know what to expect. But unless you call 'New Zealand fiction' a genre I don't have a fixed genre. A disadvantage? I don't know. At least I'm free to write whatever I like in any manner or style I choose. Anyway, I've started a new book, it doesn't have a title yet, and it's many months (up to a year) away from being finished, but I'm enjoying the writing so that's always a good sign.

About Me

I was born in Auckland, New Zealand, in 1945 which makes me much older than I ever thought I’d be. I began freelance writing in 1983 and have been a self-employed writer ever since.
For the last few years have dedicated myself to my own writing, preferring to write and publish my own work which is mostly (but not only) about New Zealand and New Zealanders. I have published thirteen books which I sell in New Zealand from my website and around the world from Amazon (and Kindle) . Information on how to buy my books and e-books is provided on my website. I welcome comments and feedback and am happy to speak about my books to schools, book clubs and writing groups within a convenient reach of Auckland.
I welcome email comments and feedback.
